    Hia,

    We had a problem with people who were smart enough to just eval one of the
    verbs which did substitutions, and got an escape code back:

    eval me.escape = $ansi:substitute("Blah[%red]Zoo")[5]
    => ""
    (but this was an escape...)

    Or bypassing their :notify(). The 1.8.0 option is far better, there aren't
    any codes accesible /in/ the database.
